Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland: The Female Protagonist Has Become a God

"Who are you?"

"Isn't it obvious enough? I am the Zombie Emperor who can command all zombies to obey me." He arrogantly announced his identity.

Cang Xingyue took a step back in surprise and fear.

No wonder there isn't a single zombie in sight for miles around; this is the territory of the Zombie King. How could any zombie dare to approach?

Lu Siyan smiled dismissively at her actions, "Do you think this one step will guarantee your safety?"

"It was slippery in the bathtub, I just lost my balance. If you wanted to kill me, why did you save me?" She forced a smile.

"Not too stupid."

"Thank you for the compliment," Cang Xingyue replied casually, already plotting her escape.

This isn't an ordinary zombie, but a powerful zombie king! Crushing her would be as easy as crushing an ant. I don't know why I saved her today, but if I anger him one day, I could kill her too.

What's the difference between this and living with a tiger?

"You're not thinking of running away, are you?" Seeing her absent-minded look, Lu Siyan asked directly.

Cang Xingyue was taken aback; her thoughts had been discovered.

“That’s right.” She said frankly and without any attempt to hide anything.

"You're quite honest," Lu Siyan said, somewhat surprised.

He walked up to Cang Xingyue and bowed slightly, his cold gray eyes fixed on hers. "Since you don't want to stay here, I won't force you."

He exuded a chilling aura, causing Cang Xingyue to involuntarily shiver.

So will you let me go?

"Of course, but that depends on whether you can escape."

Cang Xingyue asked, confused, "What do you mean?"

"I'll let you leave for thirty minutes, and then I'll come looking for you. If you manage to leave successfully and I don't find you, then you win."

"I will give you the reward of the victor, and I assure you that from now on no zombie will dare to harm you in the slightest, including zombie beasts."

“But that’s on the condition that you win.” He raised a hand and grasped Cang Xingyue’s shoulder, continuing, “Otherwise, if I find you, then—you’ll be mine, and from now on you’ll stay by my side forever.”

"I won't..." Cang Xingyue subconsciously refused, but as soon as she uttered the word "no," she felt a tightening force on her shoulder, as if her shoulder would be crushed if she continued to speak.

"Okay," she had no choice but to agree.

“Very good.” He gave a wicked smile. “The game begins.” With that, he pushed her into the bathtub.

Water splashed everywhere, scattering across the floor.

Cang Xingyue struggled to her feet and yelled, "Are you sick?!"

But Lu Siyan was nowhere to be seen in the bathroom.

She could only angrily climb out of the bathtub, wring out the water from her clothes, and push the door open to leave.

The manor was very large, and it took her some time to get out. Once outside, she started running wildly.

The rain was still falling outside, but it had lessened considerably.

There's nowhere to hide near this manor, and the Zombie King must be very familiar with this place after living here for so long, so staying here is not an option.

She now has no choice but to cross the river to the other side, where the dense trees and overgrown weeds provide excellent cover, and her car is still parked there.

Cang Xingyue arrived at the riverbank. She looked around and her eyes locked onto a thick wooden stick. She quickly walked over and picked it up.

She used a stick to probe the water; the previously shallow river was now up to her knees.

Cang Xingyue carefully crossed the river, leaning on a wooden stick.

Inside the manor.

Lu Siyan sat on the leather sofa, closed his eyes and pretended to doze off, while silently calculating the time in his mind.

"Isn't thirty minutes a bit too long?"

These 30 minutes felt like 30 hours.

"Tsk, I should have given her ten minutes."

He started to get impatient and began to count the time faster.

When the countdown reached one, Lu Siyan disappeared from the sofa and reappeared outside the manor.

He stretched his stiff neck and looked at the empty grass with a smile on his lips.

"I hope I don't find you easily."

Because that would take away a lot of his fun.

He sensed that the woman was no longer nearby, perhaps she had already left his territory.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Siyan teleported across the river to the other side. A row of footprints on the ground, which had been washed away by the rain, caught his attention.

He took a step and followed the footprints, and could vaguely make out that the owner of the footprints had climbed over the hillside and entered the forest.

"You really are careless," Lu Siyan said with a helpless smile.

……

Cang Xingyue sat in the car, looking tired.

She had only driven about 100 meters when the car stalled. Upon inspection, she found that there was no fuel in the tank.

It's really a leak in the house that happened to rain in the night.

She leaned back in her car seat, silently gazing out the window. The glass, blurred by rain, became clear again after being wiped by the wipers, only to be blurred by rain once more in the blink of an eye.

Just like her situation, hope was just beginning to emerge only to be quickly shattered, and after a narrow escape, she was quickly plunged into crisis again.

"So tired...so tired..."

She closed her eyes and murmured softly.

She wished time could slow down, slow down even more, so she could stop and rest.

Suddenly, slow footsteps could be heard amidst the rain.

Cang Xingyue immediately opened her eyes and looked out the car window warily. In the distance, she saw a tall figure walking towards her.

"How did they get here so quickly?"

Cang Xingyue turned off the windshield wipers, letting the rain blur the car windows. She pressed the switch to open the trunk, then quickly climbed into the back seat and into the trunk, finally opening the trunk lid slightly to get outside.

She couldn't just open the door and get out because she would be seen, and luckily there was no partition between the back seat and the trunk, so she could get out through the trunk.

Cang Xingyue carefully closed the trunk lid, bent down and walked towards the bushes, where the thick and tall bushes could completely cover her.

She crawled carefully into the bushes, making sure there was no risk of being exposed before lying down.

The rain made it hard for her to open her eyes, and even breathing became difficult. She raised her hand to shield her face. The grass was too dense for her to see what was happening in the distance, so she could only rely on the sound of footsteps to tell if a man was approaching.

The footsteps grew clearer, as if they paused briefly in front of the car before walking towards her.

Cang Xingyue's heart pounded with nervousness. She slowed her breathing and quietly grabbed a handful of soil.

Suddenly the footsteps stopped.

Cang Xingyue looked around but didn't see the man.

Did they not come? Did they leave?

After a while, the raindrops dripping on her stopped.

Has the rain stopped? Or...?

She removed her hands from her face and saw the man standing in front of her, looking down at her with a smile.

It was as if an invisible barrier was protecting him; he was spotless, not even his shoes were dirty.

In contrast, the disheveled Cang Xingyue presented a stark contrast to the two.

Lu Siyan slowly squatted down and looked at her with a half-smile, as if to say: I've found you.

Without hesitation, Cang Xingyue threw the mud she was holding at his face, then quickly got up and ran away.

Lu Siyan turned his head away, his smile vanishing and his expression turning gloomy.

He teleported instantly to the back of Cang Xingyue.

Upon noticing this, Cang Xingyue quickly used her Blood Cherry Blade to cut off a thick branch from above, and the severed clump of branches crashed straight down towards Lu Siyan.

Lu Siyan took a step back, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he watched the woman running further and further away.

Cang Xingyue ran frantically, knowing only that she absolutely could not be caught by this zombie king.

Suddenly, something like a rope wrapped around her leg, tripping her to the ground. She looked down at her leg but couldn't see anything wrapped around it.

Just then, the man darted after her. Cang Xingyue was about to get up when he swiftly grabbed her by the back of the neck and shoved her into the mud.

He scoffed, "Still running?"

"Nonsense, let me go!" Cang Xingyue struggled angrily, trying to tilt her head back to keep her nose and mouth from sinking into the mud.

“You have no chance anymore,” he announced coldly.
